Leviticus 11:42-47; Leviticus 12; Leviticus 13:1-23

42You are not to eat any creature that moves about on the ground, whether it moves on its belly or walks on all fours or on many feet; it is detestable.43Do not defile yourselves by any of these creatures. Do not make yourselves unclean by means of them or be made unclean by them.44I am the LORD your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves about on the ground.45I am the LORD who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.46" 'These are the regulations concerning animals, birds, every living thing that moves in the water and every creature that moves about on the ground.47You must distinguish between the unclean and the clean, between living creatures that may be eaten and those that may not be eaten.' "

1The LORD said to Moses,2"Say to the Israelites: 'A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period.3On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised.4Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over.5If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.6" 'When the days of her purification for a son or daughter are over, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering.7He shall offer them before the LORD to make atonement for her, and then she will be ceremonially clean from her flow of blood. " 'These are the regulations for the woman who gives birth to a boy or a girl.8If she cannot afford a lamb, she is to bring two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.' "

1The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,2"When anyone has a swelling or a rash or a bright spot on his skin that may become an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest.3The priest is to examine the sore on his skin, and if the hair in the sore has turned white and the sore appears to be more than skin deep, it is an infectious skin disease. When the priest examines him, he shall pronounce him ceremonially unclean.4If the spot on his skin is white but does not appear to be more than skin deep and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest is to put the infected person in isolation for seven days.5On the seventh day the priest is to examine him, and if he sees that the sore is unchanged and has not spread in the skin, he is to keep him in isolation another seven days.6On the seventh day the priest is to examine him again, and if the sore has faded and has not spread in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is only a rash. The man must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.7But if the rash does spread in his skin after he has shown himself to the priest to be pronounced clean, he must appear before the priest again.8The priest is to examine him, and if the rash has spread in the skin, he shall pronounce him unclean; it is an infectious disease.9"When anyone has an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.10The priest is to examine him, and if there is a white swelling in the skin that has turned the hair white and if there is raw flesh in the swelling,11it is a chronic skin disease and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He is not to put him in isolation, because he is already unclean.12"If the disease breaks out all over his skin and, so far as the priest can see, it covers all the skin of the infected person from head to foot,13the priest is to examine him, and if the disease has covered his whole body, he shall pronounce that person clean. Since it has all turned white, he is clean.14But whenever raw flesh appears on him, he will be unclean.15When the priest sees the raw flesh, he shall pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; he has an infectious disease.16Should the raw flesh change and turn white, he must go to the priest.17The priest is to examine him, and if the sores have turned white, the priest shall pronounce the infected person clean; then he will be clean.18"When someone has a boil on his skin and it heals,19and in the place where the boil was, a white swelling or reddish-white spot appears, he must present himself to the priest.20The priest is to examine it, and if it appears to be more than skin deep and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious skin disease that has broken out where the boil was.21But if, when the priest examines it, there is no white hair in it and it is not more than skin deep and has faded, then the priest is to put him in isolation for seven days.22If it is spreading in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is infectious.23But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
